“…A study in Australia confirms that corporate governance mechanisms can improve citizen participation (Lin et al, 2015). This finding is consistent with the proposal of a model of proactive corporate governance that seeks short-term and long-term benefits (Mihaela et al, 2014).…”

“…Accordingly, sustainability does not even appear in performance measurement at the strategic level, though it should be an integral part of strategic planning. Lin et al (2015) study the relationship between corporate governance and community participation in Australian mining companies between 2005 and 2013. They confirm that corporate governance mechanisms improve citizen participation due to the companies' significant environmental, economic, and social impact.…”

Corporate governance is a topic that in recent years has been related to fraud and economic crises, which could be reasons for pessimism; however, this study views it as an opportunity to improve the organizational environment. Therefore, this exploratory study is conducted with the purpose of identifying the context in which corporate governance occurs and potential international trends. The review of the literature indicates that corporate governance codes based on the model of insider information are gradually being replaced by American and British models, which are characterized by democracy, transparency, and accountability. Similarly, there is emphasis on the importance of bringing organizations and interest groups closer together and building consensus to develop activities that are in the common interest and that provide benefits to all. Finally, further studies are recommended to improve national and international standards concerning corporate governance with the aim of balancing the interests of organizations and their stakeholders.

“…At the third level, the firm and the community work together on different initiatives, implying more company time and engagement. The traditional analysis of reports, those which obtain terms for variables through content analysis, focuses on the first level (Fuisz‐Kehrbach, ; Lin, Li, & Bu, ; Ranängen & Lindman, ; Wirth, Kulczycka, Hausner, & Koński, ). However, as reporting has advanced, the three levels of engagement have been incorporated through the use of the GRI framework as a basis to define variables (Barkemeyer et al, ) and the “Social Licence to Operate” approach.…”

This paper aims to analyse how the discourse of CEO letters and other factors influence community involvement and Social Licence to Operate (SLO) in the mining industry. The analysis is based on qualitative information disclosed in sustainability reports and CEO letters from 32 mining firms. Content analysis was undertaken to obtain data for the study, and then a regression analysis and a multiple correspondence analysis were used to test the hypotheses defined in the study. The results indicate that the CEO discourse influences how a firm expresses the importance of gaining its SLO, the philanthropic activities in which companies become involved and the destinations of the investments in the communities in which they operate. The results also show changes in the discourse between 2011 and 2015, which are, in part, explained by the difficult situation experienced by the sector during this period. The paper contributes to the Corporate Social Responsibility literature by integrating different theories from this field into the SLO framework. The analysis carried out and the results obtained are useful for both CEOs and Sustainability Managers, especially in managing their relationships with the communities where they operate or intend to operate.

“…The term "community" refers to the inhabitants of the immediate and surrounding regions influenced by the firm's operations [162]. Obviously, a responsible company should make efforts to generate enduring positive effects on the communities in relation to the quality of life, social justice, inclusion, job creation, social progress through innovation, ecological issues, viability, housing, and so on [163][164][165].…”

Sustainability and Convergence: The Future of Corporate Governance Systems?

2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In today's world, a sustainable approach to corporate governance can be a source of competitive advantage and a long-term success factor for any firm. Sustainable governance requires that the board of directors considers economic, social and environmental expectations in an integrated way, no matter what ownership structure and formal rules of corporate governance apply to the company: this mitigates the traditional differences between insider and outsider systems of corporate governance. Previous studies failed to consider the contribution of sustainability in the process of corporate governance convergence. Therefore, the aim of this article is to fill the gap in the existing literature by means of a qualitative analysis, supporting the international debate about convergence of corporate governance systems. The article describes the evolution of outsider and insider systems in the light of the increasing importance of sustainability in the board's decision-making and firm's operation to satisfy the needs of all the company's stakeholders. According to this, a qualitative content analysis developed with a directed approach completes the theoretical discussion, demonstrating that sustainability can bring de facto convergence between outsider and insider corporate governance systems. The article aims to be a theoretical starting point for future research, the findings of which could also have practical implications: the study encourages the policy makers to translate the sustainable business best practices into laws and recommendations, strengthening the mutual influence between formal and substantial convergence.
